The content is about political intrigues in the post-Thatcher era. The ambitious, aging, however Alerte faction leader Francis Urquhart is not, as hoped by him appointed to a ministerial chair. This means that the Premier create an enemy, Francis bent on revenge, destruction of the Prime Minister Henry Collingridge is its primary goal. He starts sent to manipulate people with the journalist Mattie Storin him the fate of the ball to a trump card, which he plays mercilessly.
The rest, so is the result, as they say so beautiful, history, Francis proposes on the road to power everything also potentially interfering from the field .... almost!
The author speaks a flat beautiful, not only narrative language mE over comparable US books clearly superior because of style and choice of words, very British halt. He remains aloof calmly, with the geziemendem for the background voltage pace; the acting characters learn a lot deeper drawing - in particular I felt that at Mattie Storin and Charles Collingridge, the Prime Minister's alcoholic brother -as it in the TV relay can succeed.
I believe that it does not matter whether one sees only the book or just the Staffel1; If that's a like, will also pick up the other without coming up even a hint of boredom. And who has both experience and a surprising deviation zwsichen book and movie.
Personally, I like to give the highest rating, and because of this my book, unlike for example JKRowlings novels outside Harry Potter led again before our eyes and the consciousness that even Island English can be presented beautifully simple. And to have volumes two and three have already been ordered, also has a predictive value. I'm looking forward to more.
